Hello,

 

We conclude our final weekend before Summer Vacation with good weather and a forecast for our remaining days much better than last week's heat.

 

This final week will include students completing any remaining coursework and assessments, book and chromebook / charger return and daily dress themes from our Junior Class for some fun school spirit. 

 

Here’s to a fun, positive and successful end to the 2020-2021 school year.

 

Have a great week!

IMPORTANT PANDEMIC BENEFITS (EBT Card)

Dear Caregiver:

The Stoneham Public School District works with The Department of Transitional Assistance and the Department of Education to ensure that eligible households will receive P-EBT benefits. P-EBT is a federal program that provides food support to help families with children who are receiving free and reduced-price school meals. Some families may not have applied for free or reduced lunch benefits during the pandemic, since ALL school meals were designated free by the federal government.  As a result, your family may be eligible for the P-EBT benefit as described above but you may not realize you qualify.

If you did not apply for the free/reduced meal benefit this year, you are encouraged to do so in case you may be eligible for the P-EBT benefits.  In many cases, these benefits may be retroactive by several months.

 If you would like to apply for such benefits, you may download the application here.

 Please visit the P-EBT information webpage for more information about how P-EBT benefits work. 

In addition, you may also click this link to access information about SNAP benefits (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).  If you need any guidance or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly:  dljungberg@stonehamschools.org or 781-279-3802 extension 1311.
